Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Jaconé has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 71°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.

Right now, it's a bit of a slow start. Monday afternoon is a no-go with weak, short-period 3ft easterly windswell and a cross-offshore breeze making a mess of things. The energy is weak at 103, so it's a skunk for the paddle.

The first real window opens up on Tuesday the 21st. The morning session is the standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the ENE with a light offshore breeze from the NNE. The energy is solid at 432, and with offshore wind, it’ll be peeling nicely. This is the pick of the first week, but at 6ft, it's getting a bit solid for absolute beginners. The afternoon drops to 4ft with a cross-off wind, still clean but smaller.

Wednesday the 22nd is small and ordinary – 3ft to 3ft with light cross-off breezes. Just grovelly waves. Thursday the 23rd is a write-off with strong onshore winds. Friday the 24th morning goes glassy, but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the SSW with a longer period of 11 seconds. It's a long wait between sets. The afternoon picks up to 4ft but the wind goes cross-shore and brings chop.

Saturday the 25th is a mixed bag. The morning is a mess with cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a 4ft south swell and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a solid fun session. Sunday the 26th is more marginal, with a tricky cross-onshore wind and a 3ft south swell that has some long-period energy (14 seconds, 485 energy) but the wind is a problem.

Now, into the second week, things get interesting. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th mornings are both winners. Clean, 4ft to 4ft south-southwest groundswells with light offshore winds from the NE. The energy is pumping at 402 and 432. These are clean, fun waves. Wednesday the 29th morning is more of the same: 4ft from the SSW, offshore wind, and 468 energy. A nice run of clean mornings.

We hit a bump on Thursday the 30th with strong cross-onshore winds ruining the 5ft south swell. Not worth it.

But then, Friday the 31st morning is a beauty. Glassy conditions, 5ft south swell with a 13-second period, and 636 energy. This is a serious standout for the experts – really clean and powerful. Saturday the 1st of August morning is also a gem, but a different beast. We have a tiny 2ft swell, but it's a long-period 17-second SSE groundswell with offshore wind. The energy is huge at 777, so it’ll be an absolute longboarder’s dream or a point break special, breaking cleanly with those long, waiting sets.

Sunday the 2nd of August is a bit of a letdown with cross-onshore winds, and Monday the 3rd of August morning brings back a solid 5ft easterly windswell with a clean offshore breeze and 598 energy. Finally, Tuesday the 4th of August morning goes glassy again with a 3ft east swell, a nice way to end the run.

Bottom line: The best surf on offer is the Tuesday the 21st morning with the 6ft ENE swell, and the Friday the 31st morning with the glassy 5ft south swell. The second week also has a string of clean, fun mornings, so keep an eye on that.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.
